aesl1982 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm doing 4 driveway arches my driveway is 18' wide and I want arches 9' tall at tallest point. Anyone have a calculator on how much pvc I'll need and how long my sleeves should be for 7 channels. I'm using 3/4" pvc and 1" sleeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Arch Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 120 ft needed = 30 ft per arch51" per sleeve. I question 3/4" PVC supporting that much weight,especially if you have ice storms. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
